Starting in 1994, a series of workshops on Applied Parallel Computing,
named PARA94, PARA95 and PARA96, were successfully
organized by the Danish Computing Centre for Research
and Education (UNI-C) and
Department of Informatics and Mathematical Modelling of
the Technical University of Denmark (IMM/DTU) in Lyngby,
Denmark.
Jerzy Wasniewski initiated these workshops where also
Jack Dongarra got involved during a
longer visit to Lyngby, helping promote the meetings
internationally.
Since 1998, the workshops have become a Nordic effort, but both
Jerzy and Jack have continued to be an integral part of the meetings.
The main themes and locations of these and upcoming meetings
are summarized below:
